In Kindergarten we spend our mornings working on reading and writing. We focus on:
  • Letter recogniton and sounds
  • Sight words
  • Identifying beginning, ending and middle sounds in words
  • Comparing words for same or different
  • Rhyme
  • Pre-writing skills
  • Writing using phonetic spelling and resources around our room
  • Using spaces and punctuation in our writing
  • Using before, during, and after strategies while reading
  • Understanding story elements-characters, setting, problem, solution as well as beginning, middle, and end in reading
  • Learning new vocabulary-especially through read alouds
